Trump introduces tariffs on 60 countries
The U.S. administration has announced new customs tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on 60 countries, aimed at punishing violations related to forced labor in trade. These measures cover more than 99% of American trade. This step is part of Washington's efforts to protect workers' rights and reflects an escalation in the use of tariffs as a tool of trade pressure. These tariffs are applied without adding to those imposed on steel and aluminum under Section 232. The measures are part of U.S. investigations into forced labor practices in certain countries and are imposed under the Trade Act of 1974, with the goal of reducing the trade gap and protecting workers in the United States.
